Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly
100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five
centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various
off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The
story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along
with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues
with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
What Comes Next [ Mar 18, 2024 ]
The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?
These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.
After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!
Panel 1
Nicole and Seamus step through the shuttle airlock toward the spaceport terminal.
Nicole: Finally!
Seamus: Dwelling on problems you can't do anything about will do naught but give you an ulcer, Nicole.
Panel 2
Seamus and Nicole, and some other passengers, walk along another corridor, under a sign reading: To Baggage Claim. Nicole is still looking cranky, while Seamus is quite calm.
Announcer voice: Passengers arriving from Circumluna 2 may retrieve their luggage at Baggage Portal 5.
Nicole: [mutters something incoherent about her zringer]
Panel 3
At the baggage portal, Seamus shows his travel cards to the android clerk, while still talking to Nicole.
Seamus: You should learn equanimity.
Seamus: Prolonged anger can damage your brain chemistry.
Panel 4
The android brings Nicole's bag, and only her bag, to the counter. Seamus is blowing a gasket.
Clerk: I'm sorry sir, this was the only bag we could find under either of your names.
Seamus: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!
